(All Notes in this series will be at the ends of the stories/drabbles.)

"Wait up, Hugh!" Nate called after him, grabbing Hugh's attention before he got too far ahead. "Just for a second, okay?"

Hugh turned around and waited patiently for Nate to continue, even though he was feeling anything but patient at the moment. Luckily, Nate was equally anxious and at his side in a matter of seconds, running to catch up with Hugh even though he was still holding his new Tepig in his arms. Nate had insisted on leaving her out of her Pokeball for a while, despite all instruction not to.

Without explanation, Nate grinned and lifted Tepig until the Pokemon was eye level to Hugh. "For luck."

Tepig touched noses briefly with Hugh while Nate watched happily. The second it was over, Hugh was already wiping Tepig snot off his nose with the back of his hand and pretending to be annoyed. In turn, Nate pretended not to notice and continued beaming.

"See? A kiss, for good luck on your Pokemon adventure!"

The frankness in Nate's voice made a light blush spread across Hugh's face. They were hardly three steps into their Pokemon journey and Kyouhei was already embarrassing him...

"D-don't pull those kinds of stunts," Hugh grumbled, doing his very best to pretend that he hadn't found it endearing on top of being annoyed.

It was kind of cute.

Once they got away from town, where not everybody could see them, maybe Hugh would have to show him how to do it right.

EDIT 14 October:

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I made a mistake while counting days, and so the countdown ended up with thirty-one days instead of just thirty to ensure it would still end on 6 October as planned. To the Europeans reading this... Well, it should no longer matter that I used the American release date, because by Black and White 2 are available in both countries.

All the drabbles/stories relate to Pokemon in some way, although some of them might be only briefly.

...I could have written prompts concerning Black and White 2 in general, but there are already people expecting me to "go down with this ship". It's more or less expected by this point that if I write Pokemon, it will be GreySkyShipping, right?

The English names have been officially edited in for every chapter.

(This will also be the longest you'll ever see the author's comments get in this series)
